Long term sub vent

So, I started my maternity leave early April. My sub observed and led a few lessons before I left. He seemed like he’d do ok. I heard that he lost a bit of control, but I knew I had a couple rough students. I figured he’d get things in order before the year ended.
Well, this weekend I went to start packing up my classroom and Oh. My. God. My room was a mess. Piles of paper everywhere, supplies on the floor, bulletin board pulled apart. Worst of all my classroom library was in shambles. Boxes ruined, torn books, nothing is in order. I was shocked at how he let my students and classroom go. I spent hours cleaning and packing my classroom. I’m just ready to start fresh next year.

I think you need to contact the sub to ascertain what happened before he loses his job; when I did a LTS many moons ago, I had little support too - no laptop, very minimal plans. The teacher wasn't available/didn't respond when I had questions or issues. It was left to the department head - not her job - to address.

I left detailed plans for three weeks, and mapped out topics/lessons to cover for the remainder of the school year. He has full access to the technology in the classroom, and support from my team as well as admin.
I was so shocked because we have been in contact. Some blame does fall on the students, but he was left in charge, not a group of nine year olds.

I'm a little confused. Is school completely over or is there still time left?

Last day is Thursday. Everything has to come off the walls and get packed up before turning in your keys. I figured I could get some bulletin boards down and most supplies put away. But, there was way more mess than I anticipated!

IMO, only to be expected - there was a 50/50 chance that this would have happened. There's nothing anyone can say or do that will set things right. Now that you've cleaned up the mess, just look forward to next year and enjoy the new addition to your family!
